- CrowdFunding is an "ask" event. You have to present and ask. Why not start asking from the start (development time). You not only get few months head start but also you can debug the process and come up with new ideas, methods, and approach.
- Building A Community Around Your Story. You know features and befits of your product or service would tell, but Story would sell. You got to start "sharing" and "asking."

Learning from the success and best practices: We have researched and compiled a list of successful self CrowdFunding projects and their histories, techniques, and tactics. We share with you the best practices. For example;
- After President Obama’s repeated success, many still doubt the power of a self-crowdfunding campaign strategy. The success of crowdfunding goes beyond the ability to raise large amounts of money in a short amount of time. The real power lays in the way it combines fundraising and campaigning into a single activity. President Obama’s as of 6/2015 ( middle of the second term) is still CrowdFunding. It is important to know, he raised $750 million for his 1st presidential campaign, a record amount that exceeds what all of the candidates combined collected in private donations in the previous race for the White House, according to a report filed with the Federal Election Commission in 2008. ( first term) The story a campaign tells is the hook that compels people to donate. Posters, billboards, and campaign literature are limited in their ability to communicate that story. But crowdfunding allows campaigns to combine all of those mediums into one platform and update their supporters regularly. This feature turns a campaign into a constantly evolving story that people can take part in.

- In reward crowdfunding history, Star Citizen is the most successful well-funded video game. Since its crowdfunding campaign launched in October 2012, Chris Roberts (Wing Commander creator) and developer Cloud Imperium have raised a staggering $43 million for a game that is, barely playable.
There are no indication that it's going to end anytime soon for the game that will blend combat space and fight in virtual galaxies far away.
What are the secrets to his success? - Self-pre-order CrowdFunding
- Most crowdfunding campaigns engage some people, convince them to become backers, and then the campaign stops. They didn't stop."
- The bodytech second product is called Lumolift . Their first product, LumoBack, raised $200k in funding during a 40 day Kickstarter debut. About a year and a half later, leveraging their followers and experience from LumoBack, the company managed a self CrowdFunding.
